Kawanishi H8K2 Emily Information

[brady]

Every Navy had seaplane tenders, and from those tenders operated all type's of seaplanes, also seaplane bases were built in and around loggons and sheltered coastal areas, as well as coastal air bases. In Ah this could mean, Port's, CV groops, and coastal Airbases, as well as coastal V bases.

 Another point is look at the back of the CA in the standard MA fleat. their is a Float plane launcher promentaly modeled, while it certainly would not suport and Emily, I can think of A bunch of cool planes it would. So the CV is sunk u can still up a AR 196, or a Jake:)

Ummm.... are there enough 'jump to' commands for all the gun positions in the Emily? HTC may have to fake it a bit to keep the number of gunner positions within the game limits.

brady did you go to school with hitech?

This is great Mitsu.  Thanks.

I think that the H8K2 would be flyable from ports and coastal airbases as PT Boats can spawn from those points.  Coastal VHs might be an interesting option as well.

I don't think that the H8K2 sould be usable from fleets.  Who'd use a carrier based bomber when they could take this instead?

I do think that the H8K2 should have the 3 aircraft formation option.


Mitsu,

Do you know how much ammo was carried for each of the gun positions?

[brady]

Zigrat, ah no.....Why do you ask?


     Can't wait Mitsu:)

This photo shows rear radio room.
The rear radio room is between rear room and tail room.

An upper photo shows a port-side of rear radio room.

A bottom left photo shows a hatch between tail room and this room.

A left photo is looking ahead from tag end of tail room.
There are hatch, toilet, rear bottom turret, and tail turret in tail room.

A right photo is looking behind from the middle of tail room.
Maybe you can see chain in this photo, it brings cartridge clips for tail turret.

Other 3 photos show the open mouth of tail bottom turret, and hatch and toilet.

This photo shows tail turret.

I'll scan downward room (location is bottom of boat) later.

At least...

Nose 20mm turret - it had 7 drum magazines (45 rds each).
Top 20mm turret - it had 10 drum magazines (45 rds each).
Sponson 20mm turret - unknown...
Tail 20mm turret - it had 9 or 10 drum magines (45 rds each).
Rear bottom 2 x 7.7mm turrets - they had 6 drum magazines (total), but size is unknown...

I would research more about this.
